Getting rave reviews - think they're probably tough to beat for the money but not sure i could live with "the image"..

Driven a couple now.

From the outside, look like a dressed up Focus. Inside, looks like most other high series Focus. Nothing bad in any of that, Focus is a generally good modern car.

The drive is good, reasonably refined, quiet and largely unobtrusive, almost bland. (Saved from that fate by not being a Toyota etc.)
When you give it the beans, the true value for money shows up. Goes very well, you can play with the toys by all means, but after a few launch control sessions it all becomes a bit normal. Drive it with a bit of thought and application, they are bloody quick.

£30k ish make them a bit of a bargain I reckon.

There is to be a Mountune kit soon, along with an RS 500.

We had a mustang for a week in the US - Not a bad car but pretty huge outside for the space you actually had inside..

I went for the Camaro, pretty good all round but need to try the Mustang next time. The Challenger looked funky but it wasn't on offer
